SuperDuper is an advanced, yet easy to use disk copying program. It can, of course, make a straight copy, or "clone" -- useful when you want to move all your data from one machine to another, or do a simple backup. In moments, you can completely duplicate your boot drive to another drive, partition, or image file.
Clones for safety. To ensure you can safely roll back a system after the unexpected occurs. With a few clicks, you can easily "checkpoint" your system, preserving your computer's critical applications and files while you run on a working, bootable copy. If anything

If anything goes wrong, just reboot to the original. When you do, your current Documents, Music, Pictures -- even iSync data -- are available! You can get back to work immediately.
Clones for industry! SuperDuper has enough features to satisfy the advanced user, too. Its simple-but-powerful Copy Script feature allows complete control of exactly what files get copied, ignored, even aliased ("soft linked" for the Unix inclined) from one drive to another.

I have been using Carbon Copy Cloner for a long time but found their newer menus confusing. All I wanted to do was erase the target drive and clone my boot volume. With CCC it was very difficult to find out how to do this. After reading many pages of technical instructions, I gave up and used Disk Utility to first erase the target. When I opened SuperDuper!, "Erase (Backup) then copy files from (Boot)" was the default option. Perfect! I also like the status window that describes what is happening during the cloning operation. SuperDuper is Super. Joel

Carbon Copy Cloner can do this, why not SuperDuper?

You'll need an app that does "block-level" clones to keep that partition like Carbon Copy Cloner (set to block level), Clone X or Stellar Drive Clone. At least until the SuperDuper dev addresses this issue and adds block level cloning to the app.
For more info, MacFixit.com explains it in much more detail.

If you have external drive clones, the recovery partition is of limited use anyway - just boot from an external instead.

Has "Shirt-Pocket" gone out out of business or closed shop? Their website appears to be down and I can't seem to find any alternative servers to download SuperDuper! 2.6.2
Can anyone provide any info?
Thanks in advance.

•Leopard Ready (Privileges)
•Progress Bar not Work on Large File Copy
•Some copy to ImageDisk made "error, not enought space left"
Thank for tour Great/Nice Soft
One (small) issue though...after a successful backup, the program will not quit. It doesn't freeze up, it just seems to require a force quit to get out of it. The backup definitely proceeds successfully though. Not a big deal but thought it was worth mentioning to make sure there isn't some stability issue lurking. Running 10.4.9 on a powerbook G4.
Again, this program is awesome.
